the absolute best case you can make for john boehner's leadership over the last few weeks, and i'm not making a strong case for his leadership, but the best case is basically he gave the faction that overran him enough rope to hang themselves with and let them run through the shutdown and get it out of their system and now maybe things are going to be a little saner. that's i think the best case scenario for why he allowed things to go as far as they did. better to have a shutdown now than to have a sort of succession of smaller crises over the next year. >> i think ross is optimistic about the future in that they could be addicted, you know, this tiny caucus, addicted to, like vampires. they tasted and they need more. >> technically, vampires aren't addicted to blood. they just need it to survive. >> i appreciate the clarification. a vampire fact check. i appreciate it. >> thank you.
